it is a powerful but small right wing fundamentalist fringe of the world's great religions that think it is dandy to solve violence -- to use violence to solve your problems. we'll point out if god or jehovah didn't like anyone, he would smite them himself. that's my superstitious way because i believe the religious talk. so after this, of course, news busters went crazy and ran a whole article about how proterrorism i was and prohamas. it was great as a result of being on the "bill press show" which does have one of the sexiest and most aware audiences in all of radio to have the exact opposite come at me all night. i'm proud i was able to drag this fine show's name into the news busters' gutter because calling news busters bottom feeders is insulting to carp. i don't want to do that. has bill ever gotten in trouble with those guys? >> news busters? all the time. >> john: anything you say -- any time you say anything that's moral or intellectually decent. >> that web site there. is no credibility there. so i don't even check that web site. i read a lot of right wing stuff. and you kn

over a fighter squadron where a previous commander we had i think three or four folks of the mormon religion in the squadron. they didn't drink. they would come to happy hour on fridays at the bar when we used to do that kind of thing. and they'd participate and drink a soda and didn't drink. and he held this against them for some reason. he got fired and i became the leader. not for that but for some other stupid stuff. let me tell you how easy it was to take over that squadron. all you have to do is embrace everybody. and if you don't in a squadron, if you exclude three people not only do they not people part of the team but you're not going to get the job done. our military is not going to get any bigger by the way through most of your careers. we need everybody in a major way. so i think it's also good by the way that you're in the military or going to join the military for those at the service academies and v.m.i. and probably some others in this room. you're joining an organization that has no tolerance for discrimination. and it's been going on for a long time. it's taken a long time
